Does it follow specific development principles?

Yes, all research and planning strictly honor YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principles to ensure maintainable solutions.

What is included in the research report?

Reports include an executive summary, technology overview, best practices, security considerations, performance insights, code examples, and actionable implementation recommendations.

Can it analyze GitHub repositories?

Yes, when a repository URL is identified, the skill uses specialized tools to read README files and technical specifications to provide deep content analysis.

How does the research skill find information?

It utilizes the Gemini 2.5 Flash model via bash commands or fallback WebSearch tools to scan official documentation, GitHub repositories, and authoritative technical blogs.
